Sana'a, NewsYemen, exclusive:
Houthi leaders attacked medical vaccines, claiming that there are health risks to them and that they are a global conspiracy targeting humanity, at a time when reports and data indicate a noticeable spread of diseases and epidemics in their areas of control as a result of their fight against vaccination campaigns.
On Monday, Sana'a witnessed a Houthi symposium entitled "The Danger of Vaccines to Humanity", which was attended by leaders of the group, headed by the Prime Minister of its unrecognized government - Abdulaziz bin Habtoor, the Minister of Health in the government, Taha Al-Mutawakkil, and Safar Al-Sufi, director of the group's leader's office.
And through what the Houthi media published about the symposium, the Houthi leaders speaking at it did not present any scientific talk based on studies or laboratory experiments about the danger of vaccines, but rather attacked the vaccines on accusations based on political and religious vocabulary and the "conspiracy"
In the symposium, one of the Houthi leaders, Salim al-Sayani, delivered a lecture titled "Jewish Medicine and Qur'anic Healing", in which he claimed that "vaccines and chemical medicine are a Jewish idea aimed at investment, trade and aggressive targeting of peoples," speaking of the existence of a "global conspiracy and a project to reduce humanity in Known as the Golden Billion Project.
Al-Siyani, who introduces himself as a "health researcher", tried to reinforce what he is proposing by saying: Our parents and grandparents were not vaccinated, for man was created by God ready through divine immunity with which God protected the human body, and therefore we must strengthen this immunity through what God mentioned in His Holy Book.
What Al-Siyani put forward was reinforced by Abdulaziz Al-Dailami, who was appointed by the Houthi group as an assistant professor at the Faculty of Medicine, Sana’a University, who claims that “the reality has proven that vaccines are nothing but a pretext that has no validity or scientific basis.” "The flags of guidance," he said
Al-Dailami believes that the Yemenis live in a “great blessing” represented in the fact that they are under the rule of the Houthi group and its leader, Abd al-Malik Badr al-Din,” and he adds that “the flags of guidance were found to bring us out of the darkness,” referring to a lecture given by the leader of the group last Ramadan during the spread of the Corona epidemic, and he said that he “mentioned It has all that is sufficient to take care of ourselves and treat it deeply and correctly.”
What al-Dailami and al-Sayani said was highly praised by the Minister of Health of the Houthi government, Taha al-Mutawakkil, who reinforced what they said by talking about the recent resurgence of polio in the group's controlled areas, as he claimed that it was a "hostile act." And that it first appeared in Marib and Taiz, and was introduced to the areas controlled by his group.
The most important thing put forward by the Houthi Minister of Health is that his ministry considers "the vaccine is not absolutely obligatory," and that "whoever insists on it and demands it will be given the vaccine, provided that he bears responsibility," in an implicit acknowledgment that the fight against vaccines has become an official act of the highest health authority that is expected to confront it. Who advocates for this instead of becoming an enemy of vaccines.
The policy of Houthi hostility towards vaccines explains the widespread spread of diseases and epidemics in the Houthi-controlled areas, and with the recognition of the Ministry of Health run by Al-Mutawakel, which published alarming statistics late last year that health facilities in the governorates under the group’s control recorded 4.5 million cases of a number of serious epidemics. Resurgence, including 686 deaths.
According to the ministry's spokesman, Najib al-Qabati, the most prominent epidemics and diseases that spread widely are: cholera, dengue fever, celery (chikungunya), diphtheria and polio, a disease that Yemen had declared free of 14 years ago.
